Coach Mike Procopio provides a way for you to work on various aspects of team development, both offensively and defensively, using 3-on-3 play.

There are numerous benefits to using 3-on-3 play:

It provides more touches

Forces the defense to focus more and communicate better

Teaches players offensive concepts, how to execute them, and how to make reads off each

The other aspect that makes this video valuable is it's perfect for coaches who, for various reasons, have a small number of players at practice.

Coach Procopio goes through a variety of game situations that are used frequently throughout a game. He communicates in a way that is easy to understand and can quickly be put into a practice plan to make your team better.

3-on-3 Training

Coach Procopio opens by explaining the various rules you can apply to enhance the concept being taught to get players outside of their comfort zone. He covers rules for when athletes can screen, can't dribble, have a specific number of dribbles, can or cannot switch, and what players must do after they pass.

The 3-on-3 offensive and defensive concepts covered in this video include:

Pistols Set

Coach Procopio demonstrates a very popular NBA set called Pistols and how it can be taught using 3-on-3. The focus of the set is to show how difficult it is to defend a pin down screen action where the player coming off the screen immediately goes into a dribble hand-off.

This is a great video for coaches at any level to learn how to teach offensive and defensive concepts in a 3-on-3 setting.
